How Do Neurological Diseases Affect Tissue Structure?
Neurological diseases often lead to characteristic changes in tissue structure that can be observed histologically. For example, in Alzheimer's disease, there is the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in brain tissue. In Parkinson's disease, the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra is evident. Histological examination can reveal these changes, aiding in the diagnosis and understanding of these conditions.
